Professor Lee Jong-won’s team of the Department of Energy Science and Engineering at DGIST (President: Kuk Yang), together with Professor Moon Jang-hyeok’s team from the Chung-Ang University, announced the development of solid electrolytes with enhanced atmospheric stability on Wednesday, December 7. Lithium ion batteries are widely used as energy storage systems for […]
In the shift away from fossil fuel energy sources, there has been a great expansion of solar energy. We’ve seen solar thermal plants in the desert and farms of photovoltaic panels covering vast areas of the earth, but perhaps the greatest potential comes from putting panels on rooftops. In some parts of the world, this […]
The southern state of Victoria in Australia is making headlines as it moves from brown coal to wind and from fossil fuel gas to battery-firmed solar. As such, it is making a great effort to take the general public along for the journey along Victoria’s Roadmap, with education playing a key role in the sat […]
What does it mean to have a secure, home-grown energy system? It cannot be manipulated for geopolitical purposes. That system must be based on renewable energy, and it must be able to be put into use quickly. The European Union (EU) has struggled with these and other energy-based variables, especially now that the war in […]
